232 pages. Los Angeles County Museum of Art Catalog of Collection. Full of pictures of Persian, Egyptian, Indian, and Turkish ceramics, manuscripts, metal work, sculpture, glassware, and textiles. It has many pictures of things not seen elsewhere! Lovely.
Very nice collection of paintings and calligraphy including Eastern Indian Buddhist, Jain, Hindu, Islamic (pre-Mughal), Mughal, and Decanni paintings. Nearly all of it fits within our time frame - with Decanni ending in 1700. Has a great, well-rounded look at the various art styles, although the Mughal is still the most copious.
Ceramics, book arts, metal, textiles, and other arts in the collection of LACMA.

I confess it’s hard to keep track of all the deities and their relations to one another, though Pratapaditya Pal does a pretty good job explaining it in an introduction and in the notes on each piece, and he does so in a way that both a scholar and a novice will get something out of it. One of the recurring themes is tolerance; there is a fusion of Nepalese, Indian, and Tibetan cultures here, with various beliefs coexisting peacefully. Another is playfulness and youth; the Gods dance and in one of the descriptions of Vishnu, “the devotee is constantly reminded of the god’s radiance, bright as the sun’s rays or a thousand moons; of his smooth complexion, like a water-laden cloud or the dark autumn cloud; or of his serene appearance, as fresh as the morning dew.” Only when facing evil to the gods become angry, and as Pal says, “in the divine drama, death overtakes only the evildoers, while the gods and goddesses, personifying good, remain ‘immortal adolescents.’” Lastly, there is also an acknowledgment of the sensual, with physical desire and spiritual grace going hand in hand on one’s quest for enlightenment. It’s quite refreshing, and beautiful.… (mehr)
